12:50 pm - 1:50 pm ESTThis session examines the first federal judicial split on privilege and work product protection as applied to generative AI-generated litigation materials, anchored in United States v. Heppner (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 17, 2026) and Warner v. Gilbarco, Inc. (E.D. Mich. Feb. 10, 2026). Attorneys will learn how courts are applying attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine to AI prompts and outputs, what distinctions— such as consumer versus enterprise AI platforms and attorney direction—are driving outcomes, and how bar ethics guidance intersects with privilege analysis. Attendees will leave with a framework for documenting AI use, evaluating waiver risk, and advising clients on safeguards before AI-generated materials become a discovery flashpoint.
Michael Haeberle 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ESTThis session examines the emerging duty to preserve generative AI prompts, outputs, and interaction logs as electronically stored information under Rule 37(e), drawing on the OpenAI MDL preservation orders and the Google chat auto-deletion rulings. Attorneys will learn how to map AI-generated ESI across enterprise and shadow AI tools, implement litigation holds that capture this data, and avoid the sanctions exposure that flows from default auto-deletion. Attendees leave with a practical framework for integrating GenAI preservation into Rule 26(f) ESI protocols and legal hold processes.
